found, and are less common in the Early English than ia either of the later styles. This moulding assumed different forms at different pe- 1 2 riods, and the variations, al-
though not sufficiently constant to afford conclusive evidence of the date of a building, often im- part very great assistance to- wards ascertaining its age : fig. 1 is Early English ; fig. 2 is used at all periods, but less fre- quently in the Early English than in the other styles; fig. 3 is Decorated ; fig. 4 is late Per- pendicular.
The term Ogee is also applied to a pointed arch, the sides of which are each formed of two contrasted curves.
Oggel, PiETER JoHX, a Reformed (Dutch) minister of considerable distinction, was born and educated at one of the universities in Holland. After a brief pas- torate in his native land, he emigrated to this country in 1856, and settled immediately in the colony of Hol- landers located in Michigan as pastor of the Reformed Church at Grand Haven (1856). Thence he removed in 1860 to another flourishing colony of his countrymen at Pella, Iowa,'when, after three years of successful ser- vice, he was elected to the professorship of sacred liter- ature in Hope College, at Holland, Michigan. He also gave instruction in tlie theological school in the har- mony of the Gospels, the introduction to the Scriptures, and in pastoral theology. He threw his whole force into his academic duties, and also secured much money from the self-denying Hollanders for the endowment of the institution. He likewise edited a periodical, pub- lished in the Dutch language, called De Hope. He was a cultivated, able, and devoted man, a superior preacher, a thorough and beloved professor, and a conspicuous leader of the ecclesiastical and educational movements of the important colony which was founded by the Rev. Dr. Albortus C. Van Raaltc. His early death in No- vember, 1869, was a public calamity. His personal character was amiable and attractive, his piety shone clearly through his daily life, and his memory will long be cherished among the founders and builders of the State and the Church in the West, (W. J. R. T.)
Oggione (or ITggione), IMahco da, a noted Ital- ian painter, and a distinguished scholar of Leonardo da Vinci at Milan about 1490, was born probably about 1470 at, as his name imports, Oggione, in the Milanese. He painted in oil and in fresco, and is on the whole one of
the best of the Milanese painters. His frescos of the church Delia Pace at Milan, which are much praised by Lanzi, are now ia the Brera at Milan ; they were removed from the wall by Barezzi. Oggione is, how- ever, now chiefly known for his copy of the Last Siip- per of Leonardo da Vinci, now in the Academy of Arts in London. This copy is painted in oil, and was exe- cuted about 1510 for the refectory of the Certosa di Pa- via; and as it was copied when the original was in a perfect state, the present almost total decay of the latter renders it very valuable. The opinions regarding its merits are various. Oggione made two large copies, both, it is said, from a sraaU copy made by himself for the purpose — that in oil, in the Royal Academy, and one in fresco for the refectory of the convent of Castel- lazzo, which was copied by the Cav. Guiseppe Bossi, though Bossi's picture was taken chiefly from a copy in the Ambrosian Library made by Andrea Bianchi, called Vespino, in 1612, when the original was already much decayed. There is an older copy at Ponte Capriasca, made in 1565, and attributed to Pietro Luini. Bossi's copy was made in 1807 for Eugene Beauharnais, viceroy of Italy, to be worked in mosaic ; the cartoon is now at Munich, and the mosaic is at Vienna. But this work, made partly from one copj% partly from another, from studying other works of Da Vinci, and from the artist's own feeling of Da Vinci's style, is essentially a restora- tion or translation, and not a copy : it may have no re- semblance to the original beyond size and composition ; and to the true lover of art can have little value, com- pared with the old unassuming copy of Oggione. Marco da Oggione died in 1530. — English Cyclop, s. v.
Ogilby, John David, D.D., an Episcopal minister in America, was born in Dublin Dec. 30, 1810. He graduated in 1829 at Columbia College, New York, where he evinced distinguished talents, and became first rector of the Grammar School. He then engaged in teaching, and contributed as a writer to the advance- ment of classical learning. In 1832 he was professor of languages in Rutgers College. He was ordained in 1838 to the ministry. In 1841 he held the chair of ecclesiastical history in the General Theological Semi- nary, New York, and adorned his lectures by the brill- iancy of his genius and the extent of his knowledge. He made three voyages to Europe for his health, and died in Paris Feb. 2, 1851, in the hope of a glorious resurrection. He published many works on the classical languages and their study, especially the Latin, and the following are noteworthy of his theological productions : . Argument against the Validity of Lay Baptism (1842): — Lectures on the Catholic Church in England and Amer- ica (1844) : — besides several A ddresses and Sermons. — Sprague, Annals of the Amer.
